It’s goodbye to Aidan

Aidan Timmons is moving on to pastures new after four exceptional years of dispensing advice and wisdom for Independent Motors’ Advice Desk. He has been a stalwart and a friend and will be sadly missed, though we wish him every success in his new career, of course.

As you have come to expect, Aidan wanted to say goodbye in his own inimitable fashion, so here it is in his own words:

“When Eddie called me to say that he had an idea to help Irish car buyers, specifically used car buyers, I could never have fathomed that every week for four years I would be dishing out advice to all corners of the country.

“Now I am driving my career in a new direction, and it is with a heavy heart that I leave the Advice Desk.

“To those who quizzed me and exercised my thinking, to the people who contacted Eddie to complain about (and praise) my recommendations, to some who challenged me to rethink the best approach to car buying, to the parents asking questions on behalf of children and vice versa, and to everyone else who came along for the ride, I have to say it was an honour to be trusted enough to advise you on such important decisions.

“I will cherish the memories. I wish you all well with your next purchases.”
